The Real News Network (video interview; 12 minutes)
Ray comments on likelihood that Ecuador will grant WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, political asylum and, if so, possible physical dangers, as well as legal obstacles that may lie in wait for Assange between the Ecuadorian embassy and a London airport. Ray draws attention to a very long lead editorial in the Washington Post on June 21, which ends with an open threat of U.S. economic retaliation against Ecuador: “If Mr.[Ecuadorian President] Correa seeks to appoint himself America’s chief Latin American enemy and Julian Assange’s protector…” (Who needs a State Department, when the U.S. administration can depend on the stenographers at the Post?)
